Cisgender

Cisgender.

Are you aware of- and familiar with- the term?
It is in common usage now that transgenderism is all we talk about. Here is the
definition of Cisgender: “A term for people whose experiences of their own
gender agree with the sex they were assigned at birth. Cisgender may also be
defined as those who have a gender identity or perform a gender role society
considers appropriate for one’s sex.” The term is often abbreviated to simply
cis, and is the opposite of the term transgender.

According to Wikopedia: “There are two versions of the term:cis malefor ‘male assigned male at birth’ orcis femalefor ‘female assigned female at birth.’
Further derivations analogously include ‘cis man’ and ‘cis woman,’ as well ascissexism (or ‘cissexual assumption’
or ‘cisnormativity’).”

These designations were apparently issued by the Department
of Redundancy Department.

If progressive’s were to be honest- and why would
they start now- they would admit that the word was specifically made up as a
mockery of the 99.97% of us who “agree” with the sex we were “assigned” at
birth. In the eyes of the vast majority of men and women, there is no need for
another term for…men and women. The otherwise useless term “cisgender”
therefore- in their eyes- essentially means: “those backward, conservative,
paternalistic, stick-in-the-mud, traditionalist, uptight troglodytes who are
somehow happy with their own gender.”

There are more feminine males and more masculine
females, to be sure. And they are free to feel like whoever they wish to feel
like. If the former want to wear a dress and the latter boxers and a tie, they
can go right ahead and knock themselves out. But if you have male genitalia,
you are a male and if you have female genitalia, you are a female. You didn’t have
any say in the matter. You were “assigned” your sex in the womb.

An Ode To Life

Appreciate all you have, as it- and you- will soon be gone. Leave no heartfelt words unspoken, no sweet gesture incomplete, no act of love undone. Love your spouse with passion and abandon, your kids with patience and understanding but also a firm guidance. Love also the truth, no matter how hard. If pursued by enough people with enough courage, it really will set us free.

And don't forget, we didn't ask to be born. We didn't create ourselves. We are not gods. There is a higher power.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."- Winston Churchill
